This one is right in the pocket with the theme of the EP. I would say its more of a warning than a done deal. That gold ring definitely changes things. Don’t let it change the most important things.
lyrics
I traded beer for topo Chico
I traded wine for sweet iced tea
I thought that maybe that would do it
To keep you from tradin me
But I started tradin way too late
And the water doesn't satiate
Well I'm back to whiskey now
All alone and wonderin how
And we traded living there together
for sleeping far apart,
We traded every thing we could, babe,
To fix our broken hearts,
But your love would go another way
and mine would find another place
a safer bed to lay,
now its way to late to trade.
Fifteen years ago we traded with a smile
Golden rings and sacred wedding vows
But we never could see this
Bankrupted family bliss
There's no way either one of us could know
this would happen,
Tradin’ Love For Gold
We traded words that hurt each other
And ended up in fights
There were lots of empty days in there
and Lots of sleepless nights
So we traded those for greener grass
But never even thought to ask,
If we would like it more,
Than the weeds we had before
But now its trade offs and its stand-offs
And losing all our write-offs
And wish in' that we'd thought of this
when we traded love for gold
